NCLEX medication

Published

Hi everyone! My friend took the NCLEX a week ago in MA, and he told me in the test only generic names were given, not the brand name. I always thought both of the names will be given.

I am really bad at pharmacology. If it is true, i really feel hopeless... :(

Anyone took the exam recently and remember the situation? Is that true? thanks!

When I took NCLEX I couldn't tell by the names what classifications the meds were and had questions like "What education would you provide the patient taking XYZ medication?" and the answers were things like "Take with food", "Take on an empty stomach", "Take at night", "Take in the morning". Honestly, I guessed.

I passed ;)
